Description

The listing, Another Great Mystery Bead Auction w/ LOTS of Extras! Winner's choice of Glass, Plastic and/or Wood! has ended.

You are bidding on a mystery lot of beads! I will start this off with 10 8mm round beads in red, blue, teal and/or clear, of which winner will get to pick! I will also add in a butterfly (either the enamel or metal)!

Then, add the following:
1) A mystery bead for each 75 credits.
2) 1 mystery bead for every Facebook "Like", up to 20, at 20 you get 2 beads for every like, at 30 you get 3, etc. (E.g., 25 like = 50 beads)
3) For each person who tweets/shares on FB (different than "like"), AND MENTIONS IT IN THE COMMENTS, I will add another bead.
4) For each legit question or answer in the comments about beading (NOT about the auction, but about beading itself. Also, not just experience & personal info, Beading tips do count tho!) I will add 5 seed/bugle beads.

Winner will get to choose if they want glass (may also be crystal or porcelain, etc), wood and/or plastic (may also include acrylic) beads.

The winner of my last auction received at least 98 regular beads and at least 298 seed & bugle beads of all sorts of sizes, shapes and colors. Each auction will vary, depending on bids, comments, likes and fb share/tweets. The more people share, the more the winner will get.

Beads in photos are just a representation of some items I have. Other than the promised beads, pictured beads may or may not be included. NO LIMIT on how many beads you can get! This is a great deal! All beads included in items 1-3 above are at least 4mm and a mix of colors, shapes, sizes and styles. All beads will be glass/porcelain, or crystal, unless winner requests wood or plastic only, when all numbers double! Again, winner must request wood/plastic mix at close if that is what they want. :)

Please check out my other auctions and keep checking, as you never know what I might list :)

Yes, I will fan you, no need to ask. I regularly add those who have added me.

Glad we could help :)

Do you have any good websites that you know of that show you simple instructions of different beading patterns? I would like to make more structured necklaces and not just basic ones.

Aug 31st, 2011 at 1:24:33 PM PDT by

I know our local craft shop has all sorts of stuff. You might try Michael's or a local store. I think Artbeads.com has instructional videos & have heard Youtube does too.

Aug 31st, 2011 at 2:40:47 PM PDT by

Those blue beads are wow! These are really neat beads, I used to collect ones like this! Fanned and watching :]

Aug 30th, 2011 at 10:14:11 AM PDT by

Thank you very much. I had fun taking pix of all my bead boxes, cuz it reminded me of all sorts of beads I keep forgetting about. Of course these aren't even all that I have...lol...just the more "organized" ones...lol.

Aug 30th, 2011 at 11:16:20 AM PDT by

LOVE LOVE LOVE this auction! I also would love to be the winner, I have tons of beads myself but you can never have too many! I shared this on FB! And if you would like to just out-right sell any of them to me, please feel free to let me know, I fanned you. Can't wiat to get my credits back up there to try and win these!

Sep 2nd, 2011 at 6:47:36 PM PDT by

Aww...thank you! I have amassed a large amount of beads in less than 6 months. They're just so perty! Lol. It would be hard to sell them right now cuz I don't have Paypal...but you're welcome to send me a personal message. Also? Thanks for sharing on FB :)

Sep 2nd, 2011 at 9:37:50 PM PDT by

No, and please remember to send me a message with you guesses. I really don't want to block anyone from this auction...so THIS time, just a warning. :)

Sep 10th, 2011 at 6:51:09 PM PDT by

I posted this on facebook. This is such a great auction idea! Good luck. =]

Thanks!

Sep 11th, 2011 at 12:28:25 PM PDT by

love your auction but i think the bidding will get to high for me cause i have to wait on my auctions

Sep 12th, 2011 at 11:12:08 AM PDT by

Thank you very much. You can always put a "watch bid" in (basically up it 1 credit) so it shows with the items you've bid on, rather than all the normal ones you're watching. :)

Sep 12th, 2011 at 12:24:50 PM PDT by

This is such is such a awesome auction ! Deff watching ! <3

Sep 12th, 2011 at 12:12:50 PM PDT by

Thanks very much! :)

Sep 12th, 2011 at 12:18:16 PM PDT by

wow I can't believe you didn't sell the 1st three butterflies. I would have definitely bought them. I've never seen them. It must have been during the time I was off Listia for a bit. They are beautiful.

Sep 6th, 2011 at 7:20:43 AM PDT by

I actually have more than 3 of them! Just more enticement to bid ;)

Sep 6th, 2011 at 1:52:49 PM PDT by

Do you also make jewelry? My wife has ton's of beads that were given to her, but I think these special beads are what she needs to make something special. I'll tell her about the websites posted here, may that would help. Great auction, but I'm really new. I know you will rake it in on this, good luck.

Sep 6th, 2011 at 2:49:51 AM PDT by

Thank you so much! Yes, I do make jewelry,however am still quite new to it, compared to many. I do have a few items listed on my Etsy page for sale. I haven't listed any on here yet because the pieces I make (even the simple ones) are too dear to me...and so is money these days ;) I hope some day I even sell a piece or two...lol. I don't know if the mods will pull this or not, but my shop on Etsy is http://www.etsy.com/shop/CharmsnChattels?ref=pr_shop

Sep 6th, 2011 at 2:13:49 PM PDT by

Fanned you Pls. Fan back ty

Sep 1st, 2011 at 3:51:42 AM PDT by

Thank you! I regularly go through and add those who have added me.

Sep 1st, 2011 at 1:16:43 PM PDT by

Ok, so let's do a bit of trivia. No looking stuff up or posting the answer please!

The name of my Etsy shop is Charms 'n' Chattels. What more commonly used similies (they mean the same thing) did I first want to use? _______ 'n' _______ fill in the blanks.

The first person to send me a PERSONAL message with the answer will get a free pair of earrings, made just for them. NOTE: DO NOT post guesses, hints, etc here or you will be BLOCKED until the auction is over (i want to be sure people are paying attention, and make it fair).

Aug 31st, 2011 at 7:53:49 PM PDT by

No guesses at all on this yet? Wow!

Sep 5th, 2011 at 10:15:14 PM PDT by

Aug 30th, 2011 at 9:10:47 PM PDT by

I'm doing well! Great to see you. What a memory too...lol. i have no idea whose auction I won first, or who my first buyer was. Heck, i can't even remember what the first items were lol. Thank you SO much for sharing with everyone! If you remember, please send me a personal message with one of the links when you post. :)

Beautiful. With the 3 butterflies I would make a necklace/earring set. (tip)

Aug 30th, 2011 at 9:02:20 PM PDT by

Thanks for sharing your idea, and for checking this out.

Aug 31st, 2011 at 12:34:28 AM PDT by

Wow fanned and watching also put on facebook! thanks for listing for 18 days..just got out of of the hospital had to take all my auctions off..going to work like a busy-bee try to re-list everything so I will have a chance to bid! Just got a COILING GIZMO on line it sure makes it easier to make what I call worm beads! Does that count as a beading comment? Hope so! thanks for a great auction! Pjlizardlady

Aug 30th, 2011 at 7:12:34 PM PDT by

Thanks for checking this out & sharing! I hope you're recovering quickly. It definitely rots when you have unexpected stuff mess up scheduling (and everything else). Great tip about making beads. Are they more back and forth wiggely like, or spiraled, like a corkscrew?

Aug 31st, 2011 at 12:39:36 AM PDT by

wow would love these..

Aug 30th, 2011 at 4:55:37 PM PDT by

Thanks for checking this out. There is still LOTS of time to list items & rack up points so you can put your bid in. :)

Aug 31st, 2011 at 12:40:52 AM PDT by

its a great auction but 18 days is a long time ill probably forget lol

Aug 30th, 2011 at 3:30:06 PM PDT by

A lot of people either put it on their watch list or put a low bid in so it shows up in their "items bid on". I gotta give everyone a chance to build up their credits :)
